Course Description

 
jQuery is a JavaScript toolkit that significantly simplifies rich web based application development. This course teaches a developer the programmatic aspects of jQuery based application development, for the purpose of creating dynamic web pages (rather than focusing on general topics on aesthetics and web design). The class is not specific to any vendor's platform and it equally applies to Java, .NET, PHP etc. During this course, you will develop a solid understanding of the syntax and features provided by the jQuery API. To this end, all lab exercises utilize a simple text editor (Crimson) and basic HTTP server (Apache) to ensure that you do not leave dependent upon any particular IDE or server configuration. This class is intended for developers responsible for adding functionality to the web front end GUI using jQuery.
